Haliey Welch is back in the news, but not for something she wants to be.
Welch, the viral influencer better known as the “Hawk Tuah Girl,” is facing backlash and threats of legal action after her crypto meme HAWK collapsed just hours after it was launched.
Welch has been raking in cash since rising to fame over the summer after she stated she spits on man’s penis during a raunchy interview on the streets of Nashville.
She tried to capitalize on her success further by launching the Solano-based meme coin to “connect with her fans,” but things went entirely wrong.
HAWK rocketed to an all-time high price of $0.0000428, taking it to a market cap of $500 million, and that happened within minutes.
HAWK took just about 24 hours to fall back to Earth. It crashed 88% to $60 million.
Haliey Welch is now being accused of orchestrating a ‘pump and dump’ scheme, and now things have gotten even worse for her.
